Standards

Bedford College has ensured that all pages produced by our development team validates against XHTML Transitional standard. However, on occasions we do use third party tools within our web sites and we have no control over the HTML produced by these controls and therefore cannot ensure that the code produced is valid XHTML.

The World Wide Web consortium sets the standards for websites. This XHTML approval means that this website has been written to comply with these standards.

This mark means that the styles used in this website have been properly constructed and meet the World Wide Web Consortium standards.

The World Wide Web Consortium Web Accessibility Initiative sets the standards required to make websites accessible to as many members of the community as possible.
